Mandriva 2007 is very solid I am running it right now. I haven't used VMWare
but it is said to work very well. For dual boot, just install XP first and
leave some free, unformatted disk space (or shrink your existing
partitions), then run the Mandriva installer. When prompted, install the
bootloader into the MBR. Works very well.
